Intact Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 Concentrations in Hypophosphatemic Disorders

Endocr PractPublished Diagnostic accuracy study

Authors' conclusion

This study evaluated the clinical performance of the MedFrontier iFGF23 assay in a large cohort of XLH and TIO Caucasian and Asian patients. The clinical sensitivity of this iFGF23 assay is appropriate for clinical use.

Study context

Population
Patients with FGF23-dependent or FGF23-independent hypophosphatemia, normophosphatemic patients, chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 2–5 patients and healthy controls
Comparison
Intact FGF23 across hypophosphatemic disorders, CKD and healthy controls
  • TIOn = 42
  • XLHn = 19
  • FGF23-independent hypophosphatemian = 8
  • Normophosphatemicn = 10
  • CKD stage-2/3n = 15
  • CKD stage-4/5n = 20
Outcome
Elevated iFGF23 vs healthy controls

Performance

As reported in the abstract

TIO vs Healthy controls: P = 0.0001 · XLH vs Healthy controls: P = 0.0001

Further findings

Correlation of iFGF23 with phosphate

No significant correlation in TIO
P = 0.74
No significant correlation in XLH
P = 0.86

iFGF23 vs eGFR in CKD

Significant increase in serum iFGF23 as eGFR decreased
ρ = −0.79, P ≤ 0.0001
